Finally, I have hit onederland! I was in between 203-206 for about a month. How frustrating! Anyhow, I have been swimming a little bit 4 times a week. While this is supposed to be good, I rarely seem to get my heartrate up. So, I am going to starting walking a mile before I swim to see if this helps. I would love to be 175 by xmas. However, that might be stretching it so I would settle for 185.

Timeline:

185 by Xmas

175 by Valentine's Day

165 by Spring Break

155 by End of School

145 by My Bday, June 27

135 by Bandiversary Aug. 7

Does this look feasible? realistic?

Since I don't have to worry about shopping much -- I have many bins of clothes saved from my last great weightloss in 2002 and shouldn't need much of anything until I'm well below 250, I've picked travel as my reward!

My first goal is to hit 275. DH and I will take off for a weekend in San Antonio when I hit 275.

After that, we'll pick a destination and start planning for the next trip -- when I hit 250.

So, my goal is to make it to SA before Halloween!

Okay..I didn't make THAT goal by Halloween, but I DID reach it by Thanksgiving Day! And we're going to East Texas to see some friends and relatives instead of San Antonio -- just trying to figure out if we can squeeze it in before Christmas or wait until after.

My next goal is 250 by Valentine's Day. It'll be a stretch, but I'm determined!

Okay, we're close in age and our past and present numbers are real similar, but I'm guessing by your goal weight you must be taller than me.

Funny -- when I look at your numbers I think "You're doing great!" but I'm so hard on MYSELF!!! Isn't it just DUMB how we talk down to our OWNselves?

Hi,

Our exercise thread has really helped motivate me, and I am sure that this thread will do the same -- so here goes.....

My short-term goal is to lose fifteen pounds by Christmas. I set that goal a few days ago and have since lost two pounds.

Thirteen pounds in slightly less than four weeks is a bit of a push, but I believe I can do this.

Good luck to everyone trying to reach their short-term goals, and congratulations to those who have already done so :clap2::clap2::clap2:!

But that ain't gonna stop me from speeding in that direction!!:)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
